Class PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
java.lang.Object
java.security.spec.EncodedKeySpec
java.security.spec.PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
- All Implemented Interfaces:
KeySpec
This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a private key,
encoded according to the ASN.1 type
PrivateKeyInfo.
The PrivateKeyInfo syntax is defined in the PKCS#8 standard
as follows:
PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
version Version,
privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier,
privateKey PrivateKey,
attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL }
Version ::= INTEGER
PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier
PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING
Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute

PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
public PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(byte[] encodedKey) Creates a newPKCS8EncodedKeySpecwith the given encoded key.- Parameters:
encodedKey- the key, which is assumed to be encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.- Throws:
NullPointerException- ifencodedKeyis null.

PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
Creates a newPKCS8EncodedKeySpecwith the given encoded key and algorithm. This constructor is useful when subsequent callers of thePKCS8EncodedKeySpecobject might not know the algorithm of the private key.- Parameters:
encodedKey- the key, which is assumed to be encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.algorithm- the algorithm name of the encoded private key See the KeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.- Throws:
NullPointerException- ifencodedKeyoralgorithmis null.IllegalArgumentException- ifalgorithmis the empty string""- Since:

getEncoded
public byte[] getEncoded()Returns the key bytes, encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard.- Overrides:
getEncodedin classEncodedKeySpec- Returns:
- the PKCS #8 encoding of the key. Returns a new array each time this method is called.
-
getFormat
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.- Specified by:
getFormatin classEncodedKeySpec- Returns:
- the string
"PKCS#8".
